In this big-budget western from 1943—Columbia Pictures' first Technicolor feature—Glenn Ford stars as a hunted gunman named Cheyenne Rogers. When Cheyenne rides into Red Valley, he falls in love with showgirl Allison MacLeod (Evelyn Keyes) and decides to go straight. Yet he finds himself caught up in a web of killing and intrigue, and escapes a lynching only with the help of Sheriff Upton (Randolph Scott). When Cheyenne learns of the underhanded dealings in Red Valley, and of the sheriff being jailed for helping him, he returns in the middle of a thundering wild horse stampede to clean up the corrupt town.
